Palestinian Children Collect Pictures of the Dead
(AFP) While kids worldwide collect pictures of Hollywood stars or football champions, the craze in the West Bank city of Nablus is a sticker album depicting scenes of the bloody intifada. The Israeli media see the "intifada album" as part of an attempt to inculcate a "shahid (martyr) culture" in children. The cover sports a picture of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem with the words "Intifada album" written in flaming stones, and bears 229 numbered rectangles where the children have to stick the pictures. Since he launched the game at the end of 2003, Majdi Taher said that 40,000 albums and 12 million stickers have been sold. The stickers are sold in boxes shaped like tanks.
